Various - Five Years Of Loving Notes Vinyl 2LP

Made of 14 sketches -- each reflecting one of the many shades of Antinote's catalog -- Five Years Of Loving Notes features new names as well as those artists who have been involved with the label since it's very beginning, like Geena or Iueke. The music on this compilation covers a wide spectrum of moods and atmospheres, from the dark and raw excursions from Tolouse Low Trax or Iueke, to the lush instrumental crafted by Nico Motte and Syracuse's Antoine Kogut; however as the listener gets deeper into the compilation, the whole of the tunes, sitting side-by-side on the record, start to make sense as they all seem to point towards the same direction. If one should try isolating a common trait from all these songs, they come to the conclusion that it lies in the way they all speak directly to the listener's emotional receptors, unvarnished and without abusing of producer's "tricks". This is a 63-minute long testimony of exclusive music by the artists who have been shaping Antinote's sound for five years; from the opening Latvian arabesques from Domenique Dumont to the Pink Floyd-ian ending from the latest addition to the label, Alek Lee, via Leonardo Martelli's smoggy electro and Raphael Top Secret's ominous talk-over. Also features: Stéphane Laporte, DK, Inoue Shirabe, Geena, Natsukashii, The Simplists, Or Edry, and Yovav. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.
